In the aftermath of Pulwama attack, students and traders in Kashmir were forced to flee the state. During such critical times, Khalsa Aid came to the rescue of these people by offering food and sheltering them. Their act of magnanimity was applauded nation-wide.

Netizens including the former Chief Minister of J&K, Mehbooba Mufti, have taken to Twitter to appreciate this chain of brotherhood at its best.
Tweeting these days comes at a cost. One is exposed to caustic levels of hatred & bigotry. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to recieve screenshots of Kashmiris expressing gratitude to our Sikh community for helping frantic students. Sadly media will turn a blind eye. pic.twitter.com/KDT84cYSzp
